Understanding the IRS Strategic Plan Fiscal Year 2018-2022 Message from the Acting Commissioner The IRS administers the tax system that funds our nation. We work to make it easier for taxpayers to understand and meet their tax obligations, and we enforce the tax laws to ensure fairness for all. The IRS's highest priority is implementing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Public Law 115-97), the most significant revision of the U.S. tax code in more than 30 years. Administering the new law will require extensive implementation work in calendar years 2018 and 2019. Efforts to implement the new legislation are already underway, and the IRS is providing taxpayers and practitioners with information to address new tax compliance obligations timely and accurately. The IRS expects to publish additional guidance as we continue to analyze how the new law affects taxpayers.
